Hey everybody!
That's me in the video. I just want to say thank you for all of your comments. Both positive and negative. I'm always glad to get criticism and take everything as an opportunity to improve. This was a performance for a Cabaret at the place I take voice lessons put on by the graduating seniors. The theme of the night was a sort of "Who I Was, Who I Am and Who I'm Going to Be" type of thing. So all of the songs were to be sung from our own point of view, not necessarily in

A kid I know is in the final round of callbacks to replace Robin de Jesus as Sonny. He's white, Italian American and has not a latino bone in his body.
WOuldn't it be a kick if he and Corbin Bleu played cousins? 0_o

I wouldn't HATE Christina Aguilera as Vanessa. She's got the sex appeal. She could dance the hell out of the club sequence. Just give her the right hair, makeup and wardrobe and I'm set.
As for Jennifer Lopez, we know she'd shut it DOWN as Daniela, but let's not forget she's an award winning actress. I would be so interested to see her tackle a role like Camilla. Get her in a matronly wig and some less glamorous make-up, I'm satisfied.
Leave the role of Daniela to (as I've said

Kindof unrealistic, but I'd love it...

LOVE the idea of Alexa Vega as Nina.
I would love to see Ana Ortiz or Sara Ramirez as Daniela.

Oh, City of Angels will be brilliant on film.
And now, I know it's the last thing we need, bu I've lately had this reoccurring thought of Kathy Bates and Anne Hathaway leading yet another movie version of Gypsy.
I also think if the whole thing could feel like the commercial, In the Heights would be amazing on film.

I did a production of Scrooge once where Ebenezer Scrooge was about 5'6" and white, 10-year-old Scrooge was a little white boy, and proposal-aged Scrooge was a 6'1" black guy.
THAT'S color blind casting.

I love the ease and flow of the melody and lyrics in "A Very Nice Prince". It mirrors (as does the music in the rest o the show) real conversation so well.
The Prologue, too. I love how most of the melodies used throughout the show are introduced in the first 10 minutes and then recalled upon later.
I just, I love it all.

In seventh grade I saw Wicked. And I (like many others here, I'm sure) did not fit in in middle school. And I had this amazing computer teacher who grew into a friend for me. And she would tell me everyday, "Key, Kev, remember - it's not easy being green". Well when Madame Morrible says the line about "she is distinguishable by her green skin" I started tearing up. And then when the ensemble sings "Look at her! She's wicked!" I lost it. I was sobbing. Lights come up and my brother (bless him for

I know my worst easily. Matt Caplan. When I graduated from middle school, my friend and I (who were ages 14 and 13 at the time) were taken to see RENT when he was in the role of Mark. Our seats were legitimately in the last row of the theatre, but we didn't care. But, accordingly, we were one of the last few people lingering in the lobby on the way out. We were in the lobby and Matt comes out and theres no one else around and we stop him and are like, "Hey can you sign these?" and he was like, "

Glad I'm not the only one who sees the similarities between Tveit and Grabeel. It could be though that, and I may get shot for saying this, but I can totally see Lucas playing Gabe, too. He's got (well, they've both got) the voice, the look for it, the lovability factor.
